I just got a job at a store which demands that you have no make up on and if you do it has to inhance your natural features.
What are some make up tips/ways i could have VERY natural make up, but still improve my image.How to make your make up look natural?
Simply stick the basics. I would avoid all but skin-tone eyeshadow (while that sounds strange, it's a major staple in my makeup bag. It makes my eyes look even bluer and makes my eyelids more evenly colored).
Mascara seems like it would still be only, but try applying it simply to the ends of your lashes to give them color but not make the clump.
Eyeliner is a good choice, but keep it very subtle. In fact, you may want to try simply doing your upper lids to give your eyelash line a little more thickness and just skip lower lid lining all-together.
You could experiment with lipgloss rather than lipstick. Rather than putting color on your lips, just enhance their natural color and give them a little shine.
And last but not least! Just use cover up and a loose powder to set it. I'm a huge fan of the covergirl cover-up sticks (they look like lipstick but are skin tones) and Bare Minerals to go over it.
Just focus on making your eyes pop without using colors around them. Everyone loves eyes. ^_~How to make your make up look natural?
hmm.. i would say if u have nice skin, u can get away w/ just a pressed translucent powder for shine. if u have blemishes, get a concealer that matches ur skin well and only apply that in troublespot areas.
then, u can try a light eyebrow powder on eyebrows to shape the face..but not too dark or it will be obvious. this is optional... but really helps frame a face, esp when no makeup involved!
for eyes, u can get a pencil eyeliner, probably in black, gray or brown, and DOT in between the lashes (so as CLOSE to the lash line as possible so it's not too visible, but still creates a dark lash line for your eye to stand out). try tilting ur head back and looking Downwards into the mirror to see lashes clearly.
mascara, u can do either clear mascara or a brown/black, and an eyelash curler. in fact, the curler itself can be enough if u don't want to wear too much obvious mascara
a light stain can be used for cheeks and lips... they have them at sephora, and is rubbed into the skin so it doesn't look too heavy like gels or powders. u can also use it for lips i think... Tarte and Benefit has good ones
good luck! :)
Foundation/base is a must, which you should use a very neutral blush with, just so you don't look washed out or sick. Add a little brown eyeliner and mascara with maybe a hint of a neutral brown/gold/tan eye shadow on your lower lid and a champagne lip gloss and you should be good to go...
While there are rigid rules when it comes to foundations, it is with your eye color that you can allow your creative side to take flight.
Your eyes are the focal point of your face. Be sure that your eye makeup techniques and choice of colors are most flattering to your eye shape and color.
With eye color you can create the illusion of new shapes and sizes. Always keep in mind that light colors highlight and dark colors shrink or recede.
Powder eyeshadows come in singles or color coordinated duos, trios or quads. Try to find eye shadows that are highly pigmented. Simply put, you want the shade you see in the container to be the color you see on your eyes.
When applying eyeshadow sweep the lightest shade over the entire area from lash line to brow. This shade will be your base color and is to your eye, what your foundation is to your face. It will hold your color and prevent creasing.
After applying your base color, apply a medium shade on the lower lid. This is the part of the eye that most women apply eyeshadow. Blend into your base shade.
A third color can then be added. Use a deep, dark shade to create depth. Apply this shade along the lash line, and at the outer corner of the eye, emphasizing the crease of the eye and brow bone. Blend well. This is your accent shade and when used can create a more defined eye.
How you apply this contour shade can help eyes look bigger, smaller, wider set or closer together. The key is to blend so well that attention is still drawn to your eye, not your eye makeup.
For eye shadow that looks “just applied” for hours, first, base your eyelid with a neutral concealer which closely matches your natural skin tone. Next, apply a neutral shade of eye shadow or a color nearest your skin color over the concealer. The process of the powder adhering to the cream will create a smudge resistant base for your eye shadow. It will last forever.
Really high quality powder eyeshadows can be used wet or dry. Dampen your brush or applicator and create your own liquid eyeliner in any vibrant eyeshadow colors. Wet application of these eyeshadows serves to intensify the color.
Cream eyeshadows are the newest kids on the block. Avoid formlations that crease upon application. These cream eyeshadows can be coordinated with your powder shadows. A cream eyeshadow can be used as an under base with a matching powder shadow as a sealant. The best applicators for any cream eye shadow are your fingertips
Tinted moisturiser;blusher,1 coat of mascara and lip gloss.This gives you a groomed look without looking made up.Don't you hate these silly rules?
I would really like to know what kind of store this is.
You might try a bit of lip gloss, then blot. Same with using mascara on just the tips of your lashes, then blot. Use a moisturizer instead of foundation.
hmm just wear some shimmery skin toned eye shadow and blush! it works wonderfully!
If foundation makes your face look cakey, I'd try some tinted moisterizer (Cover Girl is my fav). Lipgloss for shine (not color) and mascara. If black mascara looks too harsh, try brown. :)
